The Shopify + Facebook Method FAQ - All Questions Here Please.

Ive been doing niche research and I use BuzzSumo's Facebook Analyzer to see competition on Facebook. I dont find any competition although when I research just on facebook's search bar, I can find some pages related to promoting the product and they arent doing such a good job.. is this a chance for me to do a better job?


You can't need that much motivation man, do it.
 
Lol this is ridiculous!

I spent most of the day setting up a shop, tweaking it and putting items in (I'm a perfectionist) - On my already made but very new personal health/fitness website blog-type thing.

Posted a nice photo-set on instagram to my 16k followers (probably half of which are old and inactive). Within 10 minutes I got 5 people putting things in cart and one payed for order. Profit so far $5! Kicking myself that I didn't start this sooner. Here I was busting my ass to get clickbank sales hahaha. Going to continue promoting my shop to my different social media accounts and then try facebook ads when I am game enough. Have 0 experience with ads.

Can't wait to see what posting during peak hours will do! I ran my test while the majority were sleeping

so i would need to get an ebay store for this right? i assume you save much more money being able to post 200 or 500 sales and less final value fees?

This method is with shopify or woocommerce. But Ebay would work too, though it's better to be in full control of your store.. I just set a simple woocommerce shop (free plugin) on my wordpress site and added items from aliexpress at a markup.

PS: In response to my post a little less than 2 days ago, I've made close to $200 in profit so far. Will be upping the markup for more profit soon since there is room to do so & lots of demand for the products

Hi Walwus, regarding the woocommerce plugin you use, does it allow for a cart system? Or do you need to purchase an extra plugin to accommodate that?

Woocommerce comes with everything you need to have a working shop & its mostly set up for you from install. There's a ton of free plugins in the wordpress store too. Just things that you'll need later on down the line require payment via the woocommerce store. But Shopify does this too with add-ons so they're both pretty similar. Woocommerce just doesnt have an upfront or monthly fee to use the basics

Woocommerce is the cart system. I don't like shopify because of all the costly addons. You can setup Woocommerce and stripe to take credit cards for way cheaper.
 
Got it sorted. Just checked. My pixels are active! Can't figure out how to delete a post here so had to edit it.

Wait, i think i really need help. I set up my facebook pixels yesterday in which my goal is only to track PURCHASES.

I got charged but there are no purchases at all on my side. Is this normal?
